As the nation celebrated its 78th Independence Day on Thursday, kabaddi, the sport that is so deeply rooted in India’s culture, took centre stage when Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) stalwarts Pardeep Narwal and Maninder Singh visited a government school for the special flag hoisting ceremony.
After the ceremony, Pardeep and Maninder, who are among the most loved kabaddi players in the country, had a fun kabaddi session with the school’s kabaddi team. After what was a very enjoyable kabaddi session, the two legends of the sport, on behalf of the PKL presented the Mumbai Public School with gifts and a token of appreciation. The morning was rounded off with cultural programme organised by the school.

I would also like to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day!”
